Twenty-four packets of sheet music are in a folder. If the chorus students decide to share 3/8
18 packets
12 packets
8 packets
9 packets
The chorus students will share a total of 9 packets. To find this answer, multiply the total number of packets, 24, by the fraction of 3/8:
24 * (3/8) = 72/8 = 9 packets
that's wrong
Apologies for the mistake. To find the number of packets that the chorus students will share, multiply the total number of packets (24) by the fraction of 3/8:
24 * (3/8) = 9 packets.
To determine the number of packets each chorus student will receive, we'll divide the total number of packets (24) by the fraction representing the sharing ratio (3/8).
Step 1: Convert the fraction into a decimal.
3/8 = 0.375
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of packets.
0.375 * 24 = 9
Therefore, each chorus student will receive 9 packets.
